Cheap alternative to Sensibloom?

When I first started growing (in my second grow now) I purchased a bunch of AN's products. It's my understanding now that this line is overpriced and primarily just about marketing.

I am almost out of my Sensibloom A & B but I still have a bunch of AN products that I am going to keep using until I run out (Big Bud, B-52, Overdrive and Bud Candy).

Can anyone recommend me an alternative, more affordable product that will work well with the AN regimen I will continue to use over the next little while?

Thanks.

Btw, I grow in a soilless medium (sphagnum peat moss, perlite, castings and dolomitic limestone).

Yer gonna be a STAR, kid, y'hear me? A STAR.

OK, awful pun out of the way ... how about simply Gen Hydro Flora Series 3-part? It's a complete basic nutrient without either frills or gaps. You can use your AN ancillaries with them, but you won't need to. The GH will provide a "safe fallback" from which you can try out the amendments individually and in combination ... to assess their effectiveness. cn

I switched from AN to Dyna Gro and love it.
It's alot cheaper too.There's several threads about DG on riu.Check em out.

I have used GH 3-part system for years with nothing but killer results.

dyna gro rocks

I just use the AN sensi A/B without any additives. It's the additives that jack the price up without much/any gains. They're all marketing ploys. The base nutes are great, though.

Canna series works for me.

Understanding plant nutrition works for me.

Yep, you got suckered in.

Just checked out the values, they suck. That combo is far from complete - no Zn and other micros. High P (5-7-5) which may induce premature leaf drop, Fe, Ca, Mn, and Mg.....that's it. Check out Dyna-Gro. Their one part products have 16 elements, plus, it's Made in America.

I have used Jacks Classic for all my grows, both dirt and now hydro. http://www.jrpeters.com/Products/Jack-s-Classic/Buy-Jack-s-Classic.html I buy the combo package of classic and bloom booster. 1.5 pounds each for like 18 bucks.

I i have seen a few grows completed with the jacks, im gonna do a side by side with my g.o veganic nutes to see the diffrences

I only use Jack's. My avatar is my first grow last summer! Jack's Only. Tryin' their Hydro Herb alternating with Blossom Booster per Jack's folks. So far, So GOOD!

i love the bloom fert is dyna gro bloom with pro tekt...gave me biggest yield ever !! because its more healthy way for ladies that i grew...i was impressed with it...i ve always used GH 3 part, it was always good...but dyna gro is so perfect and simple.

If you're looking for an alternative to Sensibloom, I received a free package of a product advertised to be comparable to Grow A&B and the plants love it. I found it here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Logic-Grow-Hydroponics-Nutrients-advanced-Sensi-A-B-/250842292068?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item8010a16c05

I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Hope this helps.
